U.S. Moves to Counter Iraq Insurgency With Iraqi's: "More Iraqi security forces will be trained and deployed more quickly to deal with the anti-U.S. resistance, said U.S. occupation chief L. Paul Bremer.
'It will take time to root them out,' Bremer told reporters. But his U.S. commander said it was still not known who 'they' are -- who is financing and masterminding increasingly coordinated strikes.
Those attacks spiked upward recently to an average of 33 a day. Most occur in central Iraq, but Saturday's deadliest blow came in the north, in the city of Mosul, where the U.S. military said a makeshift roadside bomb exploded and killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded two others as they drove by in two civilian vehicles. "

The US is admitting it doesn't have the ability to establish security in Iraq. It's policy of dismantling the Iraqi military was a mistake. And with the increasing frequency of attacks, they are panicking. Having Iraqi's police Iraqi's, and Iraqi's manning the army in Iraq is a step forward. But if it doesn't come with Iraqi control of political institutions, this will blow up in our faces too.
